Trump … our very own Witch Doctor
In
2008 Barack Obama was elected President. We
Democrats were thrilled but little did we know what was in store for
us. In our enthusiasm and
naivety we
took our eyes off the political ball and in 2010 the Tea-party side
of the Republican party managed to take over and
we've been paying for it ever since.
It is now 10 years later and nothing has changed. That became crystal clear with President Trumps recent support for a questionable “doctor's summit” on TV. These “frontline doctors” were espousing Trump's declaration that Hydroxychloroquine is a safe drug and very effective in fighting Covid 19 and that masks are not a necessity and it featured the eccentric Dr. Stella Emmanuel.

The
video, (co-founded
by Tea Party Patriots) which
racked up more than 13 million viewers on Facebook (before
it was taken down for
promoting false information)
included bizarre
medical claims by Dr. Emmanuel,
such as “some gynecological ailments are caused by people having
sex in a dream world with demons”, etc.
When
questioned about this at his daily press meeting Trump replied
“I can tell you this. She was on the air along with many other
doctors. They were big fans of hydroxychloroquine and I thought she
was very impressive...” As one reporter pressed him further
about masks he stormed out of the briefing room.
Can
you imagine that this is actually the leader of our country? God
help us …..
(PS:
Apologies to those who prefer only
“feel good” articles.
I agree that they
are nice and give us a “breather”
but I also feel strongly that we need to face what is actually
going
on or it will be our
undoing. My next post is non-political !)
